Christian name Anaes

[frances]

Has anyone ever come across the christian ANAES ?

I tried googling it thinking it may have been Gaelic for Angus , but it doesn't appear to be.

Looking for Anaes Anderson aged 35 in the 1871 census. Can't find his birth or death . He was a monumental sculptor/stone mason.

Hi Frances

I reckon it might be a version/mis-spelling of Aeneas - a name used often in the highlands.

Can you tell us where you have seen it? Original SR/OPR document? IGI? Ancestry transcription?

Could this be him with family in 1841 on Freecen?

Is it possible he changed occupations? It looks to me like the one Lesley found in 1841 was married to Sophia Sheed in 1855 and ithey are in Aberdeen with Aneas as a Mason Granite in 1861 and then this sure looks like family in 1871.....

In case this is the right fellow his death is found indexed as:

1899 ANDERSON AENEAS M 64 NIGG /KINCARDINE 266/00 0101

And if that is the correct one, that 1855 marriage should also give his place of birth, confirming what was found in the census and his parents' names which should help you find his birth.

Have said it before and will say it again.

This is the best genealogy forum bar none.

I just did a search on SP using Aneas as forename and Mac* ( for the sake of a surname) and found 5 OPRs. So it was a name in use.

I did a gaelic translation and it says "Aneas= wind Southerly"
Maybe he had colic???
